Florida Demonstrates it's Progressive Gun Laws Once Again

Proposal Would Allow Guns On Campus - Controversial Bill Opposed By Some College Police Departments

quote:

State Sen. Greg Evers, R-Crestview, filed the bill that changes a law that bans guns on all school campuses. If the bill passes, licensed gun owners would be able to carry a gun from public property to any college campus.

It has been demonstrated time and time again, that gun free zones make convenient killing fields for active shooters. A law enforcement officer commented on an earlier post, where he stated that he was not in favor of open carry. I understand his position, and would never consider open carry myself because it removes the element of surprise, and someone could waltz up from behind, stick a gun in your ribs and then take your wallet AND your gun. However, I do not like politicians thinking that they should be able to take away a right that Floridians once had, especially when that politician is Janet Reno. Here is an excerpt of some other statements that he made:

That being said, concealed weapon permit holders should be able to carry anywhere they want - bars, schools, police stations, polling stations, school board meetings, and at work.

One last thing...

As a former homicide detective and SWAT team leader I have studied and trained for these types of "active shooter" incidents.

Banning high-capacity magazines will do noting to stop these types of incidents. Most active shooters will simply bring more than one gun.

There is a well know saying in the shooting world, "The fastest reload is another gun." The shooters at Columbine, the shooter at the CA McDonald's and at Virginia Tech, and a few other all had more than one gun.

Banning high capacity magazines will do NOTHING but prevent law abiding citizens who have concealed weapons permits from fighting on a level playing field.

This LEO makes a lot of good solid points, and Gun Shy wants to thank him for reading and commenting. As the readers know, Gun Shy is pro Law Enforcement as long as the officers stay mindful of their oath, and their conduct exhibits their desire to truly serve and protect. A good LEO is definitely part of the solution, and they deserve respect for putting their butt on the line daily.
